The first week after Thanksgiving is our "gun" season and I tried to make an honest effort to get out. I remain deerless, maybe it's just not meant to be this year.
This is Matt and Angel, my neighbors, cuddled up in a tree stand. It was her first time out, I think she enjoyed herself.....
This picture of the house was taken this morning as I pulled out. We got enough snow for school to be delayed two hours. Hopefully it stays through the winter. The kids will have the sleds out this afternoon I am sure.
PJ is getting into the spirit of the hunt; playing with some mini buck antlers from a "culled" deer last year. She tried to put them onto the dog and the cats, none were very appreciative.
I spent yesterday cleaning out my shop and getting the ping pongtable back out. It's my winter time cardio program and I have to get practiced up to beat dad again in a few weeks. The workers come Friday night, my folks the following weekend, Heather the following weekend, and Brice a few days later. Thats a lot of trips to Columbus, but it's all for a good cause.
Hope all is well with everyone and don't be afraid to climb that tree like Zacheous. Sometimes thats what it takes to see above the noise and tumult.
Glad to see you are getting some time in the woods . . . I shot my first deer ever this year, last Wednesday . . .a nice 4x4 buck! :) Then I shot another on Saturday, but we never found it. :( Tracked it for miles. That's part of hunting . . . luckily, we have a super long season, so I am hoping to get another deer or two for the freezer! This feeding four kids (not even teenagers yet) thing is getting spendy! Happy Hunting to you . . . stay warm! No snow here yet, but temps that make it seem we should! Merry Christmas! Enjoy having your friends and family so close this holiday season!
